Philip E. Pusey

Philip Edward Pusey (1830-1880) was an English Aramaicist.[1] He started the work continued by George Gwilliam on making an edition of the Aramaic New Testament of the Peshitta.[2] The utility of the edition is however limited by its reliance on late sources.[3] Pusey also edited several of the works of St. Cyril of Alexandria.

He was the son of the Hebrew scholar and leader of the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement, Edward Bouverie Pusey.
